82 Chapter 2 Properties of Reinforced <strong>Concrete</strong><br />

2.16 A concrete specimen has the following properties: Relative humidity = 50%; h e = 2V/S = 51 mm; f cm28<br />

= 16.5 MPa; cement content (c) = 320 kg/m 3 , w/c = 0.59, a/c = 5.669, t c = 28 days, γ = 2296.74 kg/m 3 .<br />

The specimen is made with Type I portland cement and was moist-cured.<br />

a. Calculate the shrinkage strain using the B3 and the GL 2000 models at ages of: 56, 90, 365, 2190,<br />

and 3650 days.<br />

b. Create a plot showing the B3 and GL 2000 shrinkage strain predictions versus age up to 3650 days.
